[1785]. _Small 8vo, brown levant morocco, gilt back, gilt edges,
by Riviere._
First printed anonymously in the "Public Advertiser," (November?) 1782.
Recited in 1785 in Freemason's Hall by Henderson, the comedian, it
attained so great a popularity that it was frequently printed. Cowper
wrote to his friend Unwin, November 4, 1782:--"You are perfectly at
liberty to deal with them [Gilpin and his feats] as you please. _Auctore
tantum anonymo, imprimantur_; and when printed, send me a copy."
According to Southey, "The ballad, which had then become the town talk,
was reprinted from the newspaper, wherein it had lain three years
dormant."
The present edition is in chap-book form, and was presumably published
("Price Two-Pence") in consequence of the popularity of the ballad due
to Henderson's recitation of it. There is no means of determining which
is the first edition. Probably several editions were published in the
present form for distribution when the poem was recited.

London: printed for J. Johnson, . . . 1785. _8vo, green levant morocco,
gilt back, gilt top, uncut edges, by Bedford._
First edition of the "Task," and the first appearance of "John Gilpin"
among Cowper's Works.
In a letter subsequent to April 22, 1785, Cowper wrote to Mr. Newton:
"When I sent the copy of the _Task_ to Johnson [his publisher], I
desired, indeed, Mr. Unwin to ask him the question, whether or not he
would choose to make it a part of the volume? This I did merely with a
view to promote the sale of it. Johnson answered, 'By all means.' Some
months afterward, he enclosed a note to me in one of my packets, in
which he expressed a change of mind, alleging, that to print John Gilpin
would only be to print what had been hackneyed in every magazine, in
every shop, and at the corner of every street. I answered, that I
desired to be entirely governed by his opinion; and that if he chose to
waive it, I should be better pleased with the omission. Nothing more
passed between us upon the subject, and I concluded that I should never
have the immortal honour of being generally known as the author of John
Gilpin. In the last packet, however, down came John, very fairly
printed, and equipped for public appearance. The business having taken
this turn, I concluded that Johnson had adopted my original thought,
that it might prove advantageous to the sale; and as he had had the
trouble and expense of printing it, I corrected the copy, and let it
pass."--Southey's Life of Cowper, Volume II, pages 86-87.
Southey continues (page 96): "If Johnson had persisted in his first
intention of excluding that ballad [John Gilpin] from the volume,
because it had already been printed in so many forms and dispersed
everywhere through town and country, he would have committed a greater
mistake than when he suppressed Mr. Newton's preface. Upon second
thoughts he not only admitted it, but specified it in the title-page and
in the advertisement.". . .
"The first volume [Poems, 1782] had sold so slowly that it was not
thought prudent to publish the Task and its appendants as a second; but
the first, with a complete list of its contents, was advertised at the
end of the book; and of the many who were induced to read the Task
because it was written by the author of John Gilpin, not a few were led
to inquire for the previous volume because it was by the author of the
Task. In the second edition which was called for in the ensuing year,
the two volumes were connected as first and second, and in the numerous
editions that have succeeded each other they have never been
disunited."
